I have a friend who is traveling in
Mongolia...she gets around the world far more than I do! She
sent me this picture from the first stop on her trip. This library is in
a yurt, or ger, and the traveler says, "Attaching
a photo of a library ger at our first camp - quite a nice surprise. It
was our first ger camp of the trip, at Ikh Nahr, in the Gobi. It really
made me smile to walk in and find the 3 other voracious readers there!"
I'm familiar with the word yurt, but she explained that "yurt" is Russian, and the Mongolians, since independence, have used their own language for it - "ger."
